Yes. After the dishes are done and lunch is prepped for tomorrow. Then oodie for me.

This takes me back to my high school years and maintaining my wool jumpers.

Every tip here is spot on.

Police helicopter circling near my kid’s school. Distracting…

In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat’s claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.

Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.

Thank you!!

Does anyone here have a recommendation a psychologist in the Monash Council area?

GP is happy to give me a referral but needs a name.

I need help with stress, anxiety & depression. Trying to avoid meds if possible. Need to get on top of this.

Thanks for anything & everything.

I have not cooked a roast anything in many, many years. But tonight WE ROAST!

Chicken is the beast of choice! With roast veg, cauliflower & cheese and peas.

I’m a boring, basic cook at best so this could go either way…

It’s nice to be social but I’ve had my fill for this week. Need a lot of solo time to recharge.

Today is all about finding a farm stay for a mum-&-son weekend away in a couple of months, making tteokbokki for the first time and doing the ironing.

Loving this weather. Love this type of easy, light rain.

But first: coffee!

Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.

Promised my kid an early morning beach visit tomorrow. Can’t say I’m overly excited about it but it still should be nice to dip my toes around 7am. An hour or 2 then home to AC.

Feeling a little caged at the moment with this heat.

School pickup time and the black clouds remind me of when the Mind Flayer appears in Stranger Things.

Survived a social day. In reviewing today’s play I can only see 1 overreaction and maybe 2-3 oversharing moments.

No anxiety though which is amazing. And didn’t cause a scene (mind you, i generally tend to avoid those). Bloody exhausted though.

Thumb-sized bit of eye fillet. Well done. Spiral pasta with basil pesto. Mixed overcooked veggies.

Welcome to my end-of-term-December-CBF effort.

Thank you!

Seeking suggestions for a cafe, open Saturday afternoons till 5pm or later, around Greensborough or surrounding suburbs.

Catching up with bestie and wanna take her somewhere noice without deafening music but good coffee. Focus here is being able to talk freely and hear each other.

Every place I’ve checked so far closes at 2 or 3pm. And this is just a coffee (& maybe cake) catch up.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks.

That wind right now is a bit nuts. I’m watching a gum tree in the park beside my house sway quite extensively side to side. It’s freaking dramatic out there.

Good luck to all SES and other response crews for the rest of the day.

And good luck all hayfever sufferers.

Finally got round to watching The Flash movie.

I am not surprised. Just disappointed. Again.

Highlights: Keaton, Kara (really well handled & great shots in costume), “Come on Barbie”.

Not even a bangin’ soundtrack.

I’m planning on seeing it tomorrow! So excited!

I had just bought a soft drink can crusher THEN heard how the container deposit scheme wants them uncrushed for the barcode to be read.

Oh well. I still have a crusher…
